Survey: Women are eager to use gen AI tools, even as they are ‘vastly underrepresented’ in AI
68% of women have used at least one gen AI tool and 61% said they wanted to learn more about AI tools and applications.
Women often underestimate their abilities due to “pervasive stereotypes and societal expectations” that can deter them from technology, which in turn leads to a lack of female representation and ongoing bias, the report notes. They might also consider offering specialized courses in advanced AI fields such as machine learning (ML) and robotics, and encourage participation in hackathons and collaborative projects that provide practical expertise and allow them to showcase their skills. The authors conclude: “By providing clear frameworks and support, employers can effectively encourage women to engage more deeply with AI technologies, enhancing their skills and confidence in utilizing these tools in their professional roles.”
